It is likely that Dragons wing Tom Prydie would have been selected were it not for a quad injury and that opened the door for Matthew Morgan and Jordan Williams, who are joined in the party by fellow uncapped players Steve Shingler and Gareth Davies.

Wales head coach Warren Gatland, meanwhile, has named three players who went off injured during the trial - centre Jamie Roberts (shoulder), hooker Ken Owens (knee) and prop Samson Lee (arm). Lee appeared to be the most seriously injured of the trio.

Wales will open the tour with a June 10 clash against the Eastern Province Kings in Port Elizabeth, before tackling South Africa in Durban four days later and then again in Nelspruit on June 21.

As much as I am a Dragons supporter, what did Dan Baker do in over 40 mins that Lewis Evans did in 30 beggars belief. Maybe I'm wrong but if Lewis was playing for any of the other regions he would have been selected. Warren needs to have a look around ALL the welsh regions not just the 3 the WRU obviously want. Also as a note I know the Dragons haven't got 10 players in the team that could possibly play for Wales but the decent ones we do have deserve to be included !!!

Leave them home where they won't pick up injuries which will put them out for the Dragons up to Christmas. Andrew Coombes can put his feet up for a few weeks, then he can train hard to get back in for the Autumn Internationals. I think a full Welsh team could get a result in South Africa, but we are missing some key players and I have a feeling we may get stuffed!!
